This took me three years to build. I'm very pleased with the result. The sound is far more better than the violin I bought in a shop.

  • Hey Boogie Man, just uploaded a sound recording of my violin.  I never put pics of myself on the internet so there's no film.

  • Yes it was. Especially practised the skill of colouring with oxide and oil on a piece of pine. It's difficult to get the colour everywhere the same. After the varnish had dried I used a car waxing product to polish. Works great.

  • Cool, bet that was a lot of colour testing then. I'll look forward to a recording.
  • Yes, I'm very pleased with it. The most difficult part you wouldn't expect, but that was getting the colour right. It's some kind of oxide that you have to mix with oil.

    I'll try to make a recording soon.

  • Awesome skills! - I would love to hear it. Three years, well spent, I say.
